Australia vs New Zealand: Steve Smith wants MCG to retain Boxing Day Test despite pitch concerns

Hindustan Times  

Australia’s batting mainstay Steve Smith is confident the Boxing Day test against New Zealand will be played on a safe, quality pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and does not want the venue to lose the marquee fixture over surface concerns. Cricket Australia said a different pitch had been earmarked for the second test against New Zealand starting on Dec. 26 but they will still work with MCG curator Matt Page to ensure it was of international standards. “He’s a good curator and he’ll be doing what he can to get us a good wicket for Boxing Day,” Smith told reporters in Perth on Monday. “Then I guess they have another year to work on their wickets to give us an even contest for bat and ball, that’s what we want to see.” A lifeless MCG pitch received a “poor” rating from the governing International Cricket Council in 2017 while last year’s surface against India was rated “average” even though the tourists took 20 wickets to comprehensively win the match.
